Stenciled Folding Penny Table

Did you ever pull something out of the trash on your own street? Embarrassing! 

I drove by a large oval folding tray table in my neighbors trash that would be perfect for this project. 

I told myself that if it was still there when I returned, it was meant to be and I'd grab it. 

Yep, it was there when I returned so I tossed it in my trunk and took off before my neighbor could see me!

This table came out so cute I might just do that!

Supplies I needed to stencil this table:

• A folding table
• Fusion Mineral Paint in several colors
• The Penny Stencil from Old Sign Stencils
• Spray sealer 
• Sand paper or an electric sander

First, I sanded the top of the table with my electric sander. 

The legs needed to be tightened but other than that the natural wood color would be perfect with the design I'm using on the top. 

This table had a damaged veneer which I sanded flat the best I could. 

The edges of the table are a little rough but the stencil is a busy one and it camouflages the damage nicely. 

How to stencil using a penny stencil:

I began by painting the table top with Fusion Mineral Paint in Hazelwood, a pretty grey color that will work perfectly for the "grout" lines. 

When the Hazelwood dried I used the Penny Stencil from Old Sign Stencils and Fusion Mineral Paint in Coal Black to stencil the pennies all over the table top. 

I let the penny tile dry then using the detailed penny stencil that comes in the pack, I began randomly stenciling tile flowers all over the top of the table. 

The pennies look so cute you could even leave it as it is! 

I used Fusion Mineral Paint in Casement White for the flowers. 

You just lay the stencil over the black penny dots and stencil over them. 

You can make these flowers in any color. 

As you can see I was not too concerned with the placement of the flowers, I think it adds to the interest of the table. 

I made one large flower near the center then random flowers around the table. 

When the stenciling was dry I sprayed the top of the table with a matte sealer. 

You can see how the busy pattern of these tiles hides any imperfections in my table. 

I think my neighbor would be thrilled to see this table now! 

I might just drop it off!
